Chapter 4
"Wen Tao, are you at home?"

Zhang Wentao, still immersed in sleep, heard the noise in the living room, and opened his eyes in a daze.

Rubbing the corners of his eyes, squinting and looking out through the open bedroom door, it turned out to be the old aunt, that is, his father's own sister.

In this world, the person who is now the closest relative by blood.

Seeing his aunt in plain clothes coming over with big and small bags, Zhang Wentao hurriedly got up and got out of bed, and greeted her without hesitation.

"Gu, why are you here? Where is my father?"

"Hey, I just came to see you, and so does your child. If you don't come to see your house when you come back, your father (uncle) is mad at you."

Zhang Xin put the things she brought on the dining table. Although she complained in her words, her eyes showed concern for her nephew.

"Grandma, didn't I just come back, I want to adjust the time difference before going to see you." Zhang Wentao scratched his head embarrassingly.

Compared with a year ago, the old aunt looked a little older, with a lot more gray hair on her temples.

Helping the old aunt put things away, after pouring a cup of hot water, she simply washed up and quickly sat down beside the old aunt, asking kindly:

"By the way, old lady, how are my father and Gao Yue?"

"It's all good. You are good to us. You are a big boy. You have to learn to take care of yourself. If you can't let it go, you will pass it slowly, your parents..."

Zhang Xin looked at her haggard nephew, and as she spoke, she began to cry.My eldest nephew, capable and ambitious, lived abroad for so many years and managed to achieve results with great difficulty, but my elder brother passed away suddenly not many years after enjoying the blessings.

Seeing her nephew came back now, Zhang Xin felt a little more at ease, but it would be great if her brother and his family were all there.

When he mentioned his parents, seeing the old aunt weeping, the corners of his smiling mouth stopped, and after slowly retracting it, Zhang Wentao comforted the old aunt, and then said: "Auntie, I want to go out for a walk in two days. God, if Dad and Gao Yue are free, I'll go to your house and sit down."

"Are you going out again? You have just been back for a few days, where are you going this time?" Zhang Xin asked worriedly, wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand when she heard that her nephew was going out again.

Seeing that the old aunt was a little worried, Zhang Wentao pursed his lips, and explained: "Just wander around the country, see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and relax by the way."

"Go around the country, that's good, that's good." Zhang Xin said with a smile on her worried face, holding Zhang Wentao's hand.

"Don't worry, old lady. When I come back this time, I don't want to go abroad for a short time. I want to be quiet. Besides, your nephew is coming of age. It's time to find a nephew and wife for you, right? Gao Yue's daughter Everyone will call me big, and I have to pay close attention to this."

Zhang Wentao knew that the old aunt was not easy to fool, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic that the elders cared about most, to calm the other party's hanging heart.

As expected, when Zhang Xin heard that her nephew was planning to get married, the corners of Zhang Xin's eyes, which were still downcast, immediately rolled up, but immediately as if she remembered something, tears welled up again.

Zhang Wentao was dumbfounded watching this scene, and was at a loss for a while.

Why is there something wrong with what I just said?Or is it so easy for my old aunt to see through my lies.

……

Three days later, after going to the old aunt's house and seeing his father and his cousin's family, Zhang Wentao, who bought a whole set of Arc'teryx travel equipment at China World Trade Center, took a car to the hospital he had been to the next morning.

After 8 o'clock in the morning, pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, especially the entrance of the subway station next to the hospital, which was even more lively.At the subway station near the crossroads, cars are coming and going, and the flow of people is surging.

Zhang Wentao is wearing a pair of jeans, a neat white shirt tucked into the trousers, a Montblanc belt around his waist, and a classic Burberry cape in khaki. This outfit is matched with a height of 1.8 meters. Like a successful person.

Before coming this time, he deliberately shaved his beard clean, and his hair was also very neatly arranged. He looked very capable and mature. After all, he was a young and promising middle-aged man in his early 30s.

With a little dressing up, the charm of a mature man will immediately be highlighted.

Of course, there is still a reason for dressing up like this today. The sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor before are very effective. Before departure, he wants to prescribe some more as a backup, so as to save the trouble of buying such prescription drugs during the trip.

With the experience of last time, he successfully registered this time, and not long after, he came to the doctor who saw him last time.

"Medicine, at most I will open another box for you. There are rules for this, and you have to be responsible for yourself. I see that you are in good condition today. It seems that maintaining exercise is of great help to you, just keep it up." .You, too, are responsible for yourself."

"Yeah, wasting time." Walking out of the outpatient room, Zhang Wentao, who was sent out with a doctor's order, couldn't help but slander.

I woke up early on purpose, and even dressed up a bit, in exchange for a prescription for a box of sleeping pills.

"Forget it, let's line up first."

After shaking the prescription in his hand and laughing at himself, Zhang Wentao walked down the stairs to the payment office in the hall on the first floor with his head down.

"It's you?"

A soft and slightly surprised voice came from the front. Zhang Wentao looked up and saw a long-haired woman in a white body shirt and black jeans pursing her lips to greet him.

Zhang Wentao carefully looked at the woman in front of him who was much more decadent than himself. Seeing the various documents in the other party's hands, he thought of what happened at the hospital gate a few days ago, and had a guess in his mind.

"Your friend, all right."

Xu Hongdou looked at the man in front of him, nodded slightly, thanked him politely for the tissue paper incident that day, then turned and walked to the payment office.

Zhang Wentao blinked in embarrassment and followed.

It's not how pitiful this pretty woman is, nor is it because he wants to go forward and ask for her contact information because he doesn't know the current affairs.

But he also needs to pay the fee before he can get the medicine.

The two of them lined up side by side in a long line, and after about a while, they each completed their own payment.

Unlike Zhang Wentao who had to wait in line at the medicine pick-up office, after Xu Hongdou paid the fee, he went directly to the inpatient department not far away to pay the bill, and then walked out of the lobby with a middle-aged woman carrying food from outside.

"The friend at the door of the CT room, the crying at the door of the hospital, and the thick payment receipt just now, it seems that her friend's situation is not optimistic."

Looking at the leaving figure, Zhang Wentao made a brief analysis and made a rough judgment, but his compassion was withdrawn in an instant.

"Hey, forget it, it's none of my business to hang on, I'd better take care of myself first."
